Cheap Trick’s Transformers Remix

cheap trick transformers

It’s a slow news day today, so I thought I’d post something that has been circulating the interwebs this week. Cheap Trick recorded a song for the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Soundtrack, which is essentially an updated remix of the old 1980’s cartoon theme song. The full song has been uploaded to YouTube by the band, and is embedded after the jump.

    When i woke up today my brain didn't know the sound of a band licking the turgid sack of satan. Now i can't get it out of my head.
  • Why didn't they get a good band to do this???? Maybe someone more modern? Maybe someone who doesn't suck?
  • Disappointed
    This remix is awful... : ( It's as bad if not worse then the new Touch remix. Hopefully I hear neither of these songs during the movie or it will ruin it for me.

    I love Cheap Trick but this song sucks..
  • asdf
    argh just use the original.

    Cheapt Trick is STILL a great band. I agree that if old bands can't make decent new music, they should just not write anything new themselves - JUST HIRE SOMEBODY ELSE TO WRITE WITH ALL YOUR GOBS OF DOUGH, MEGASTARS! jeez.

    But let's face it, if somebody told you to write a rock song that had to use those taglines, could you do better? Maybe some kind of crazy dj shadow thing would work better.....
  • I made a Transformers concept, but it probably will never see the light of day because it's not great. Anyway I managed to squeeze the original theme song in, and I always thought it was pretty neat. If you're curious, there are links to all my concepts including that one out there - just google novellice and take link #2, Novellice myspace. =D Then click on the Transformers face on the left and it's the last song. Cheers.

    Oh and yeah, Cheap Trick is pretty bad ass, I liked the song.

    I think I might have liked the song more if it wasn't about 'Transformers'. Just too hard to take it seriously. I do like some of the guitar rifts tho'.
  • much better than fucking MUteMath, that shit was unbearable.
  • Andy
    mutemath's version is awesome. and this one isn't that bad either
  • Johnny
    Oh God, this sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Albert Brodsky
    I couldn't make it past a minute. The line-up on that album is dreadful. It represents everything that's wrong with Hollywood and the music industry. They cater to morons.
  • Mike
    Cheap Trick is the only good band on this soundtrack.
  • Fucking awful
    Well-suited to Bay's impending crapfest.
  • Elric
    Sounds good to me. And hey, people, music is subjective. What you like might sound like crap to someone else, and the stuff you hate is probably loved by somebody else too.
  • rick
    1000,000 (any band) != Cheap Trick
  • Phontsolo
    Horrible...
  • zero1
    I hate sounding negative and everyone is entitled to their own opinion but this sucks monkey/donkey balls.
  • Tom
    Cheap Trick is going to be the only good thing about this shittiest of summer shitfests. Look in your heart, you know it to be true.

    At least they have their tongues correctly placed in their cheeks here.
  • And Jeas i thought stan bush's remix was bad ... i think this is on par lol if not worse lol
  • Danny
    The Poster and Music makes this feel like a 80's movie badass
  • Cheap Trick > You

    It's science.
  • I'm a kid of the 80's. I don't know, I just like those tunes. I like the new "Touch" and I somehow like this song, too. Espacially with the pics from the new transformers movie in mind.

    Also, transformers is equally gay as those songs ;)
  • Binaryshock
    this was just plain horrible... not as bad as the new Touch but pretty close imo
  • I don't get why old bands keep making new music. I like Cheap Trick's old stuff, but I guess these bands think they can still make the same impact on music that they did back in their day.
  • "I don't get why old bands keep making new music."

    ...because they want to? Did you seriously just post that on a public website?
  • They keep recording excellent music, e.g. Rockford. Rockford was awesome. Every song was catchy. Also, does anyone else remember the awesome Cheap Trick song from Heavy Metal? Greatest song ever.
  • I have no respect for old bands that do nothing but tour around playing their hits...either be a real band and record new music or hang it up.
  • you're clearly not a fan of music. how could you be with a name like "RapistWerewolf" you're probably into **** ******** **** ****** *********** **** ** *** ******* *********** ** ***** ***!!!
    anyway, real fans love it when their favorite bands perform their hits it's what we remember them by. i still wish billy "asshole" corgan would've played at least one hit maybe 'tonight, tonight' and not his experimental stuff or the "smashing pumpkins" recent stuff.
    i rather listen to a band's hits than their new stuff which sounds more of the same but different lyrics and lamer. that's why i love it how there's so many new bands coming out with great original music.

    great song by cheap trick but i prefer the original which is still lame, and carlos probably the best drummer, i really like that tinted windows album.
  • But thats not what they're doing, they're obviously recording new stuff.

  • I was never really a fan of cheap trick. Its not that they are bad they are just not my type of band. I guess i like the mute math version from the last movie.
